Game idea

The city of Tire , the starting point for the Phoenician Empire, is located in the eastern Mediterranean . From here, players have to explore the Mediterranean and colonize foreign countries. To do this, they drive their ships across the sea to other shores. They have merchandise such as ore, wood, silk or oils with them on their travels.

Game strategy

The game rounds, which are variable in terms of time, have new starting positions so that the game always offers new variations and does not become monotonous so quickly, even after a longer period. A game round lasts about 90 minutes. It is a strategy game with no dice. Random elements are created by drawing the cards. The tactics and diplomacy of the players are just as important for the course of the game.
